Senior Software Engineer, Financial Accounting

Job Description

The Financial Accounting team is responsible for generating and delivering all accounting entries produced by the Pismo platform to our clients through event‑driven architecture. 

Every financial movement — such as purchases, withdrawals, interest accruals, fees, and adjustments — must be accurately translated into accounting entries based on each client’s specific configuration and accounting rules. 

The squad’s mission is to ensure that the platform is fully prepared for all financial events, supports highly flexible and configurable accounting scripts, and scales reliably as transaction volume and client complexity grow. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of financial systems, distributed architectures, and high‑throughput platforms. 

What you will do:

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Java and Golang, following established architecture and engineering standards. 
• Build and evolve event‑driven, scalable, and resilient systems that process mission‑critical financial data. 
• Implement new features, enhancements, and bug fixes based on well‑defined functional and non‑functional requirements. 
• Actively contribute to technical discussions, architecture decisions, and solution design alongside senior engineers. 
• Write clean, maintainable, and well‑tested code, applying best practices in software design and quality. 
• Support AWS infrastructure provisioning and evolution using Terraform, in collaboration with the team. 
• Monitor applications using logs, metrics, and observability tools to ensure reliability, performance, and correctness. 
• Participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and helping to raise the overall code quality. 
• Contribute to technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement initiatives. 
• Work closely with product managers, QA, SRE, and other engineering teams in an Agile environment. 

Why join us:

• Work on complex financial systems used by large‑scale clients. 
• Solve challenging problems involving accounting rules, scalability, and consistency. 
• Collaborate with experienced engineers in a highly technical and impactful domain.
